Kudos to co-editors Jonathan D. Cohen (managing editor of "'BOSS: The Biannual Online-Journal of Springsteen Studies') and June Skinner Sawyers (editor of "Racing in the Streets: The Bruce Springsteen Reader") for giving Springsteen fans an extraordinary new addition to that canon. Long Walk Home is worthy of its subject and a timely reminder of Springsteen's promise in the 1999 anthem 'Land of Hope and Dreams' that 'dreams will not be thwarted/ faith will be rewarded.'"
